I love my family for so many reasons, one of which is the way they cheer me on. When I brought the finished product downstairs to show everyone, they showered me with affirmation.The girls were even a bit disappointed to learn that this isn't for one of us.

As pleased as I am with the outcome, and as much as I love the fabric, it feels so good to know that someone else will enjoy wearing this in the kitchen.

Now it's time to get upstairs and start putting together #2.

Hop on over to Amy's Sew & Tell to feast your eyes on all of the fabulous creations there!

Thanks so much! Yes, I use that loop on my own apron to hold a dish towel, so I added one for Lisa, as well.

I like the little timer idea. If I could find one on a carabiner, I'd feel like the most hip cook alive!! Thanks for the tip!

I know what you mean about not wanting to cook in a pretty new apron, but I got over it with the one I made for myself last Thanksgiving. At some point, I got blackberry something-or-other on it. It was officially initiated. I tend to be rather OCD about the condition of most of my things, but my alter ego loves to have pretty things for messy jobs. :-)

Beautiful work! I like the loop, too! I used to share my creations with a co-worker, who is a fellow quilter, at my previous job. We called them "Ooo and aah" parties. Our poor boss was appreciative of our work that we shared, but all the quilting talk was overwhelming at times! :-)

About Me

Each morning, I open my eyes to the refreshing sight of my handsome husband, and remember God’s goodness. I give thanks to the Lord that, although there are now three young adults included in our five children, they are all still at home with us.
We are beginning our eighteenth year of homeschooling, and I wouldn’t trade this life for anything in the world!
It is a joy to create a haven in which we may learn, play, grow, love, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ together, as we prepare to engage a culture that is hostile toward the things of God.
